When I was in high school my English class read “Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and like 5 chapters in some wondered aloud if there was some kind of hidden relationship between Jekyll and Hyde. (In the original book, it’s a big reveal).
The teacher stopped class and asked for a show of hands who knew what the answer to his…

I dunno, digitally mapping 15 year old girls faces onto nude women & posting it on the internet to humiliate children who were mean to her daughter seems like the real crime.
Eye on the ball.

Homer did once rig up a mop, bucket, and a tape player into a dummy to cover for him while he went on an adventure.
The dummy got promoted up to a corner office before the tape player caught fire & burned down the building.

I think part of the issue is that this is the first time we have had a “real” part of the MCU play out over several weeks.
Previously, when a new movie dropped we might have thoughts about what was and was not being setup while the movie is running, but we are mostly forced to watch the whole movie before we could go…

I was always facinated by Rufus mentioning that De Nomolos was the Sit-up Champion of the 27th century. That takes some dedication.
Was that just an early inkling of De Nomolos’ fanaticism? Or did he start to build his evil following off of a 27th Century fitness blog or somesuch?

Despite what TV tells you, there are non-white people living in the midwest. The local racists are *way* more worried about them than a white guy in a Honda Fit.

Now, if he had said that hours of driving through wheat fields, only to have them replaced by hours of corn fields had mentally broken him.... well that’s…

Yeah, I guarantee that if an Iowan was working at a gas station on the interstate, the author was not the first out of towner they have seen.

Also, in 2020 Iowa voted 44.9% blue (which is why their state Republicans have put voter suppression at the top of the Agenda) and Nebraska was 39.2% blue. So it isn’t like they…

It has been seeming kind of gross to me how many people just viewed this show as “connective tissue between phase 3 and Doctor Strange 2" or about how people were more interested in other characters who might show up than they were in Wanda or Vision, the two actual title characters.
It almost felt like because the…

I do enjoy the theater experience. Part of the secret is not to visit the snack counter, it cuts the price by about 70%

Or, just don’t Preorder? Like use this as practice for not pre-ordering all the other games everyone keeps preordering?

Yep, a star each for Zoe and Kaylee, no points for Inara and River
Safron isn’t a main character, but in multiple episodes *and* being a walking “never trust hot women, they just want to take you for all your worth” trope probably should factor into this too :)

To track down the actual Dialogue:

“if you re-watch The West Wing, the misogyny is rampant.”

There is even the whole episode where a character in-universe calls one of the “good guy” male leads (the one who spent season one trying to reform a prostitute he was in love with) a misogynist
The strong conservative hot woman immediatly shuts down the misogyny…

Firefly gets like two stars out of five. No matter how you build her up the Space Prostitute is always a bit rough on the gender politics and the tragically damaged hot barefoot chick who needs her brother to look after her when she isn’t kicking ass with her powers may as well have been on Buffy.

“I’ve never understood why BTVS was considered such a feminist show.”

“I’ve never understood why BTVS was considered such a feminist show.”

I disagree.
I think the part where it was implied that only by being capable of making babies can she resist her training to kill was the thing that upset people. I myself am infertile and I still manage to feel the natural world. To my knowledge I’ve never killed anyone.

I think some things went over so well they were adopted by pretty much every version of a character that came later... but the rest of it was pretty painful.

Ultimate Spiderman had a great run for the first few years before it was decided to “shake things up”.  The Ultimates and the X-Men were a lot dicier.  I’m not…

My favorite moment of the entire trilogy is the pause between when Aaragorn bursts into the throneroom and announces the Beacons have been lit and when Theoden declares Rohan will answer. Will he do what his ancestors have sworn to do and what might save the world or will he stay home and try to do what he thinks will …
